Feelings withered strengths scattered
Lives smothered and made to die
Earth is sodden and so is sky
Water is red and so are flames
...

In a cool winter morning like this one,
Am writing my deepest of thoughts
Every feeling of mine, asking me to rise
Rise about the odds and thoughts
...

Now is the time and today is the day,
If it's about a breath, breathe it now,
If it's about a smile, flash it now,
If it's about a tear, pour it now,
...

Just when the day broke illuminating the sky
I looked for the flocks to fly up high

Dawn passed spreading some dew
...

Still recall the moments i spent
Waiting for the postman to come
And also recall the anguish i got
When he came without my message
...

It wasn’t my fate
To think about the heavens of life
Neither it was my day
To be with someone in the heavens
...

From the vast number of words that you spoke,
am recollecting the ones which relate to me
And I treasure those verses which formed my guide
...

Far away I see a hill,
Always smiling standing still
A friend of his is flowing through,
Glancing at him; not talking though
...

From my window when the sunlight peeked
I woke up with my aspirations tied
Up in the sky there was a golden spread
Ah! That was the Sun; hiding behind
...
